Could you build this?
Partial The widget dashboard, clock, and photo faces are native SwiftUI work an AI assistant can help build. Reliable HomeKit integration, camera streams, and Home Assistant connectivity on iPadOS require deeper platform knowledge and testing on real devices.
What it would actually take: Build a native iPadOS app in SwiftUI using Apple's HomeKit framework (HMHomeManager) for lights, locks, thermostats, and cameras. Use Home Assistant's WebSocket or REST API for dashboards, and a secure local networking layer for camera streams. The hard parts are reliable HomeKit camera streaming and dealing with Apple's permission and sandbox constraints. This needs iOS platform expertise and a physical iPad and HomeKit hardware to test on.
